*undoskip.txt*		For Vim version 8.0	Last change: 2020 May 5

DESCRIPTION				*undoskip*

This plugin emulates the `'backupskip'` option's functionality for the
|+persistent_undo| feature, checking buffer file paths against a list of
globs, and switching the `'undofile'` option off locally if any of them match.

REQUIREMENTS				*undoskip-requirements*

This plugin only loads if 'compatible' is not set.  If requires both the
|+persistent_undo| feature and the |glob2regpat()| function.  The earliest
full release of Vim with both of these was v8.0.

OPTIONS					*undoskip-options*

					*g:undoskip*
Set `g:undoskip` to a list of globs to match against file buffer paths and
switch 'undofile' on or off accordingly.  Defaults to the same values as
'backupskip' (or tries to).

Some possibly useful values:
>
	let g:undoskip = [
	      \ '/tmp/*',
	      \ '/dev/shm/*',
	      \ '/usr/tmp/*',
	      \ '/var/tmp/*',
	      \ '*.git/*_EDITMSG',
	      \ '*.git/ADD_EDIT.patch',
	      \ '*.git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo',
	      \]
